Comment Comment Details

I was there when Bill Boardley was killed. I still feel guilty to this day, because I stopped to speak to him, within seconds he was shot dead. I always felt that if I had not of spoken to him he would of been further up the road. or away from the VCP.

The IRA had lured us there via a bomb hoax.
